Hypergraph Enterprise Agentic Reasoner over Heterogeneous Business Systems

arXiv:2605.14259v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to heterogeneous enterprise systems is hindered by hallucinations and failures in multi-hop, n-ary reasoning. Existing paradigms (e.g., GraphRAG, NL2SQL) lack the semantic grounding and auditable execution required for these complex environments. We introduce HEAR, an enterprise agentic reasoner built on a Stratified Hypergraph Ontology. Its base Graph Layer virtualizes provenance-aware data interfaces, while the Hyperedge Layer encodes n-ary business rules and procedural protocols. Operating an evidence-driven reasoning loop, HEAR dynamically orchestrates ontology tools for structured multi-hop analysis without requiring LLM retraining. Evaluations on supply-chain tasks, including order fulfillment blockage root cause analysis (RCA), show HEAR achieves up to 94.7% accuracy. Crucially, HEAR demonstrates adaptive efficiency: utilizing procedural hyperedges to minimize token costs, while leveraging topological exploration for rigorous correctness on complex queries. By matching proprietary model performance with open-weight backbones and automating manual diagnostics, HEAR establishes a scalable, auditable foundation for enterprise intelligence.
